So this is what i've been up to

The deadline has been and gone. I decided to make a handbag after playing around with the cards for ages. It's an evening bag and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Please tell me what you think. I would love to see it made out of something different.













As this one is finished we were given a new project to do. This brief is called MASS - MOVEMENT - TENSION. Great title isn't it?
I have a few ideas for it and i still have a few weeks till it has to be handed in (hand in date 6th march)

The past couple of days i have spent in the Ceramics and Glass workshop learning about all the techniques that can be done. For Ceramics it isn't just using a potters wheel you can do so much more and i can't wait till next week so i can get back in there and try different things for myself. The glass is just as good and has given me so many ideas. We were even given the time to have a go at sandblasting which is such a wonderful technique that i think i will be using alot in the future.
If you ever get the chance to try these things go for it as it isn't as hard as it looks because you can get amazing results from such simple techniques (you do need to come up with the ideas first).

I can't believe that this course is flying by because as soon this project is done we are on final piece which is put in a show that is open to the general public (scary)

Well apart from that not much has happened here. Oh yes i forgot Dom had his photo taken with the FA Cup a couple of weeks ago. What? I hear you ask, well as Portsmouth won the FA Cup last year they have been going round all the local schools so the children can have their photo taken with it (and touch it). We had a choice of how we wanted to get a copy of the photo

1. Have them do a poster of it with small photos from the cup final day. Cost £7.50
2. Download it for free from the website

Of course i went for the second choice and here it is


Are you jealous?

With the weather this week it didn't really affect us. Living on the South coast and at the bottom of a hill it didn't get too bad. On Monday it was off the roads and pavements by the evening and the same on Tuesday and we haven't had any since even though we were due for some today, we only had lots of rain.

Any way it's getting really late and i want to go and see whats happening on Twitter.
I'll be back another day (hopefully i won't leave it so long this time)
